More 55+ choices than anywhere in NoVA.
Prince William County sits roughly 35 miles west of Washington, D.C., at the foot of the Bull Run Mountains. It's the sweet spot for active adult buyers: far enough out for space, mature landscaping, and a lower cost of living than Fairfax or Arlington — but still close to the metro, Dulles Airport, healthcare, and Loudoun wine country.
The county is home to several of Northern Virginia's most established and sought-after 55+ communities, plus newer Del Webb construction. Whether you want championship golf, walkable shopping, or a low-maintenance villa, the options here are deep — and we know every one of them firsthand.

Good to know about Manassas
The City of Manassas and Manassas Park are independent cities — separate jurisdictions from Prince William County, each with its own school system, real estate tax rate, and local services. Many homes with a “Manassas” mailing address actually sit in Prince William County proper, so the postal city isn’t always the governing jurisdiction. If schools, property taxes, or county senior services factor into your decision, we’ll confirm exactly which jurisdiction a specific home falls in — and what it means for you — before you commit.
